roughest area of edinburgh

[fletch92]

just wondering which is the worst place to live in edinburgh

[Moncs]

I think a lot of places are getting a bad name now, you have your usuals like Niddrie, Muirhouse etc etc, but The Inch is getting bad rep recently with the murder and drug related things.

[MrBones]

Clermiston? Rough? I suppose it depends which part. The bit I stay in most of the residents are in their 70's!

[Romulus]

Out of the ones youve listed definately not Clerry or Drylaw

[heartsfc_fan]

Wester Hailes?

[lou]

No mention of Gilmerton,Gracemount or the Inch???

[Eckauskas]

Greendykes for me.

 

Horrid little place.

[Super T]

I've changed my mind, I went for Niddrie but really the worst place i've been in is Broomhouse.

[Cow]

Craigleith and Ravelston are quite mental areas imo

[Seantheman]

Muirhouse isny particularly pleasent.

[JamTarts1874]

Niddire hands down.

 

End of.

 

Close thread.

[Cal_]

Meggetland's been gettin pretty wild recently. All drug related tbh

[Guest juvehearts]

No mention of Gilmerton,Gracemount or the Inch???

these 3 places for me IMO are the roughest parts ATM

don't live in edinburgh so im not familiar with all the places sorry:43:

[speedbump]

Anywhere on the old 32/52 bus route:th_o:

[I'M IBRAHIM TALL]

I saw someone throw a cigarette butt in the gutter in Ravelston Dykes the other day. That place is getting more like Basra every day

The Parkgrove/Barnton turning to go up Drum Brae was really rough.

[stevie]

Clermiston? How very dare you................

[H.A.N.S]

Royston by a mile!

 

Muirhouse, my area for 18 years, is getting some harsh treatment. Although it is very dodgy.

[speedbump]

The Parkgrove/Barnton turning to go up Drum Brae was really rough.

 

Mentalists down that way:th_o:

[bobthejambo]

i would go for Royston grew up in west pilton but got my first flat in royston

did not stay long in it

 

west pilton is getting bad now

thank god i moved away

[Denny Crane]

Bingham?

[Alan_R]

Some of those are a picnic compared to the others.

 

I vote pilton because when I played for a footy team down that way some boy jumped on the back of our moving minibus and tried to shatter the windows with a large machete/knife.

Colinton's pretty wild also

[heartsfc_fan]

Colinton's pretty wild also

 

eh? You must be kidding. Hardly "wild" compared to some of the places mentioned.

One suspects the poster was being slightly sarcastic...

of course

[The Old Tolbooth]

Toss up between Pilton and NIddrie for me, both hell holes!

[conn artist]

Its mothing compared to the mean streets of the grange.

[bighusref]

don't live in edinburgh so im not familiar with all the places sorry:43:

 

Interesting. Why then do you ask?

 

Also, I find it a little funny to find little old Royston get a shout, in fact half of the places on here are quite amusing, particularly those mentioned by Fifers.

East or west? Bearing in mind, there is Royston in between them.

[Fenerjambo]

I was brought up next to the Fort down Leith way. I've lived in Clermiston,Stenhouse,Kirkgate House and now currently in Broomhouse. I can honestly say that the Fort was the most scariest of places out of the lot of them by a long way.

[The Mighty Thor]

East or west? Bearing in mind, there is Royston in between them.

 

Technically speaking Royston borders East Pilton to the north.

 

Ah the areas of my youth, Granton, West Granton, Royston, East Pilton although I rarely strayed into West Pilton or Muirhouse.

 

I think it's all relative. I lived in Granton as a laddie and thought places like Niddrie and Leith were RAF when in reality they're all ****-holes.

This "honoury" fifer grew up slap bang next to Royston as I supsect you are aware of:10900:

 

Although I do live in a posh part of Fife:2thumbsup:

[Peebo]

I heard of a recent spate of rose-budding in Balerno.

[Midloth_Iain]

No mention of Gilmerton,Gracemount or the Inch???

 

Clearly you havent been "home" for a while.

 

I'll give you Gracemount and parts of the Inch, but dont lump Gilmerton in with them. Its a very respectable area

[fletch92]

im just intrested in general about edinburgh and was just wondering

[lou]

I assume it's got better since they demolished Hyvots,I lived at East Kilngate for 4 years moved out in 20 03 and Gilmerton was still a scary place then

[Frankie Pal]

I've changed my mind, I went for Niddrie but really the worst place i've been in is Broomhouse.

 

Say that again and I'll huv ye pal!

[speedbump]

Boom toon isn't too bad.

[jm_hmfc]

oxgangs, moredun?

 

is craigmillar still as bad as it used to be?

 

Havent been to most of the places mentioned so would have to say broomhouse as i've taken a few bad beatings there before.

[Pete Seeger]

I don't know the worst bits regarding crime and poverty but to look at Greendykes, Pennywell, West Pilton and the Calders take a bit of beating.

Broomhouse Grove is pretty dodgy (the square in the middle near the Gauntlet) but the rest of Broomhouse is far from the worst in Edinburgh.

 

Just my opinion though.

[Guest jambomickey]

I was aware of this. The area got a little better when your brother was away causing bother in Danderhall.
